The case of Denman v Radovanovic followed the trial of the case between the plaintiffs Michael Denman, Andrea Denman, Olivia Denman, and Isabel Denman and the defendants, Ivan Radovanovic, Vitor Mendes Pereira, Lee-Ann Slater, Ronit Agid, Karel Ter Brugge, Johnny Ho Yin Wong, John Doe #1, John Doe #2 and John Doe #3. It took place from March 16 to June 22, 2022, and the parties were unable to agree on costs. On May 25, 2023, written and oral submissions on costs were heard. The plaintiffs submitted two scenarios for costs. The first scenario requested partial indemnity costs to the date of the offer and substantial indemnity costs thereafter, totaling $3,067,820.27. The second scenario requested partial indemnity costs to the date of the offer and something between substantial and full indemnity, thereafter, totaling $3,522,109.35. On the other hand, the defendant doctors argued that the appropriate costs should be $1,554,175.28, inclusive of fees, disbursements, and taxes. The court awarded the plaintiffs $3 million for costs. The costs requested by the plaintiffs were found to be consistent with costs awarded in other lengthy medical malpractice cases. Additionally, the plaintiffs had served a Rule 49 offer that they "beat" by over $2 million.
